MANAGING YOUR CAREER

I attended a career workshop called Managing Your Career. The participating company was Colgate. In this career talk, I learned that we must manage our essential career management skills before start working. We have to prepare for future employment and reflect on our professional journey. We can get more internship experience in any field, and we can explore the company's work culture, and show our desire for learning, acquiring skills, knowledge. Also, identify your skills, knowledge, and qualification. We have to understand our skills and ability to do something well in the job. So, a degree or specific certification is important because we must have qualifications related to the job that we want. We need to learn about planning and transferable skills. We should be able to plan a course of action and able to implement an action plan by organizing time effectively, identifying steps needed to reach the goal, and preparing contingency plans. Every job requires different skills, we need to understand as many transferable skills as possible, which can help you survive in society. Transferable skills not only show that you are a good fit for the team but also determine if you are qualified for the job and how much you have learned from previous positions or experiences. Those were the learning outcomes from this career workshop, and I know what skills should I have and what to do to become a superior employee.
